Adrift

Web app, Walking Performances — 2021

Adrift deconstructs Google Maps direction text and by doing so it offers a new set of directions based on the original one, thus it enables the group of performers to get lost in their very own environment. 'Getting lost' refers to the perception of the urban fabric in a different way than what we usually experience in everyday life.

During the walk to nowhere, the performers are being asked a set of questions regarding their surrounding and offered the opportunity to record answers in the form of conversations between them, hoping to initiate another level of observation and meaning-making through the act of walking and mapping.

How to Get Lost presents Adrift as an installation, across two screens displaying the software’s interface and a video documentation of a selected drift.
